Outlook For Mac 2016 Attachment Size Limit

I can receive emails with attachments of any size; with an older computer with Outlook I can send attachments of any size using the same email-account; and the Apple 'Mail' program can send attachments of any size. I am using: Office 365 for Mac, Macbook Pro, El Capitan, Outlook 2016; email-account is POP3, T-Online.

  1. For example, if you specify a maximum message size value of 64 MB, you can expect a realistic maximum message size of approximately 48 MB. Attachment size limits: Specifies the maximum size of a single attachment in a message. The message might contain many smaller attachments that greatly increase its overall size.
  2. We are running exchange 2010 and few mac clients having issues sending attachment more than 10MB. For the same users they can use OWA and send the attachment without any issue. I searched the technet and found that i need to change MaxRequestLength in ExchangeWeb EWS folder and restart the IIS. It did not help, Mac client still have the issue.

Dear Sir or Madam,


With Outlook 2016 on my Macbook Pro I am not able to send attachments larger than about 10 MB. The program accepts multiple attachments of any size but the transmission fails after trying for about 5 Min. I receive an error message (sorry, my OS is installed with German):


'Ein auf dem Server ausgeführter Vorgang wurde abgebrochen. Der Server ist eventuell überlastet, die Serververbindung wurde abgebrochen, oder das Netzwerk ist ausgelastet.' (A process on the server was aborted. The server may be overloaded, the connection to the server may have been interrupted, or the network is overloaded.)

Then 'Senden der Email nicht möglich.' (Email cannot be sent.)

Then: Fehlercode: -1001. (Error code -1001.)


I can receive emails with attachments of any size; with an older computer with Outlook I can send attachments of any size using the same email-account; and the Apple 'Mail' program can send attachments of any size.

Does anybody have a idea what is going on here? Does anybody know where the preferences for Outlook are stored and how to check or change them? I understand that it is possible to limit the email size in the preferences, although the program doesn't complain about the size, it simply fails to transmit larger emails.
